Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance TPR HELP!

So i am hearing a lot of good things about TPR! And i have heard some debate about their legality. I got some noob questions. What products does TPR make and are they legal?? thanx

tpr has come out with a intake and a exhaust. the intake i and exhaust are carb legal but dont have a sticker, so cali pplz cant have them, right now TPR is behind on there production do to there shops. SEMA has keeped the shop busy so they havent produce the exhaust or wat ever (thats wat we hope is the reason y no one got there exhaust yet) hopefully we will have a word tomorow or tuesday sence SEMA will finish on the 8th so stick around

Legality is: don't have CARB stickers, so inspection is if you're going for emissions. Other than that, they're fine.

Somebody needs to get ahold of some of these for the West Coast. I WANT ONE!!! Come one, Chris, please hurry!

CARB is a California thing...
CARB / C.A.R.B. / "California Air Resources Board"

http://www.arb.ca.gov/

So if you are not in California, CARB is meaningless to you...

Are you mixing up the terms "C.A.R.B." and "50 STATE LEGAL" (as far as Decibel/Noise is concerned) ???

Hello everyone.

As Isaac said, CARB is only for california. But yes the parts do pass emissions

We currently have an intake and exhaust, however my shop is lagging a lil behind and should be caught up soon as SEMA is now over.

In the works we have a race header/mid pipe combo.

With all three bolt ons we are aiming for 185-190whp with no ecu tuning.

There are some other projects we have goin, but im not at liberty to say so you will just have to wait .

...sweet!!!!! cant wait for that header(04 gts)

where can i buy TPR parts?

This is the link to their web store; they are currently not taking orders.

From what I have been reading about the TPR intake and exhaust it will be worth the wait:

does anyone know of anywhere that is taking orders?

The only way you can order TPR parts is through Easy_C. He's the owner of TPR, and the only seller of their parts.

Yes Isaac, yes I am!

Without CARB sticker you can't pass emissions inspection in California. This is true, yes?

Noise is ok. Its not annoyingly loud, from what I heard in sound clips.

Caught by the bullshit police again!

does anyone have any pics of TPR parts on or off the celica?

im super interested in the mid pipe? Can you guys tell me more or maybe provide a skitch of how it looks like? Will my car sound better with the TPR midpiping, as in will it sound deeper like the TSRM sound? Thanks in advance.

i have some pix

interesting...

exhaust prototype

actual exhaust

there is more ill post ones i find them enjoy

Is there any sound clips of the exhaust?

Keep in mind, the pics of the TPR CAI Clos posted are the Gen 1. The Gen 1.5 and 2 will have much better fitment due to improved design.

You'll pass emissions just fine, but not visual inspection.
